Independent News & Media in Dublin, late of the O'Reilly empire and now in the clutches of telecoms baron Denis O'Brien, advertised on Monday for a new editor-in-chief who would have responsibility for the Irish Independent, Sunday Independent, Herald and the papers' websites. Rumour in Talbot St Towers is that it's already stitched up and is going to someone who will look after O'Brien's interests and hails from British shores. Word is this man, for it is a he, is currently in the UK but has Irish roots. Monkey shudders to think. It couldn't possibly be Paul Staines, AKA Guido Fawkes or Professor Brian Cathcart of Hacked Off, could it? Watch this space.
